We're talking about The Creator's weak box office performance over in the Box Office thread, but this article fits here.
Variety is trying to convince readers that
The Creator deserves to become a sleeper hit with surprising box office legs, and that it could/should be seen as an allegory to the current issues over Transgender rights, or illegal immigration, or fill-in-the-blank social issues. That's an interesting angle, but perhaps the audience really did take the movie at its word that it's about Artificial Intelligence lifeforms instead of Trans folks?
Anyone who has seen the movie care to weigh in on this Variety take? Or, understandable if its just not worth it at this point in its box office performance.
Gareth Edwards’s elegant sci-fi spectacular is well worth a trip to the theater.
